Are you looking for the perfect hairstyle to go with your evening dress? These ten hairstyles for special occasions could be used for a night out, festival or an event such as a prom or a wedding.
1. All Down
The first hairstyle is all down. It has curls and waves at the back and is easy to create at home using the Bablyiss Secret Curl Styler.
2. Braided
The next look is a large braid with a tiny plait in the centre. It’s unique and perfect for a special occasion.
3. Plaits and Roses
This look is perfect for standing out from the crowd. Additionally, it’ll keep your long hair out of your face.
4. Half up with a Double Braid
The half up double braid will allow you to leave your hair down whilst adding a special touch.
5. Messy Braid
The messy braid is popular for proms and weddings. It’s also easy to add accessories such as clips and bows.
6. Hair Pins
It’s sometimes nice to add hair pins to a look. Amazon have a lovely selection of crystal hair pins to choose from.
7. Updo with Light Curls
If you have thin hair and want to make it look a bit thicker with an updo you can add a hair piece. There are many different styles and colours and it’s possible to find something the same colour as your own hair. I have often worn them and no one even realised it wasn’t my own hair!
8. Curls
This up style with curls can be achieved easily using the Bablyiss Secret Curl Styler
9. Ringlets
If you’re after a statement hairstyle for a special night, consider a combination of ringlets and a bow. Not only does it look stylish, but it’s also easy to create either with hair extensions or curling tongs.
10. Messy Braid with Accessorises
This style and flower accessories are very popular at festivals such as Coachella and Glastonbury.
